Hi 

I found this under Tables,Products,Select any product SKU, Standard 
View,Included Form. 

<td class=clabel> Product images </td>
<td class=cdata> 

<script>
function get_images (sku) {
               var path = '[var IMAGE_DIR]';

               var el;
               var divit = document.getElementById('images_table');
               divit.style.display= 'none';
               el = document.getElementById('thumb_img');
               el.src = path + '/thumb/' + sku + '_b.gif'; 

               el = document.getElementById('item_img');
               el.src = path + '/items/' + sku + '.gif';
               divit.style.display= 'block';
       }
</script>
   <table id=images_table>
       <tr class=rmarq>
            <td>Image</td>
            <td>Thumb</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><a href="javascript:mvpan_tripTab(2)">[image src="[var 
IMAGE_DIR]/items/[cgi item_id]\"  extra=\"border=0 id=item_img\"]<a></td>
            <td><a href="javascript:mvpan_tripTab(2)">[image src="[var 
IMAGE_DIR]/thumb/[cgi item_id]_b\" extra=\"border=0 id=thumb_img\"]</a></td>
       </tr>
   </table>
</td> 

I also would like to change this but I am not good at this code yet.
